“So avoid using the word
‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use
very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women
- and, in that endeavour, laziness will not do.” —Dead poets society"

I saw this quote yesterday and thought about how
interesting! Words are indeed important to express ones emotions, or points of
view.

So this quote below, I must be honest I had to
read again a few times to understand what it was trying to say. But I realise
it made me think again about the use of words and their ability to make you
truly understand what the originator intended.

“If all else perished, and he remained, I should
still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the
universe would turn to a mighty stranger.” —Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights
